Taking to Instagram to blast her "cruel" fellow SATC actress, Kim told Sarah she's "not family"."My Mom asked me today 'When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?' Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now," Kim raged.

So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona."She then linked to a story about the 'Mean Girl' culture that left the friendship between the Sex And The City co-stars in tatters."I don't need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker," Kim added.Her jawdropping rant came days after SJP reached out to Kim with a condolence message after Kim's brother was found dead last Sunday.Under Kim's post revealing the tragic news, Sarah shared: "Dearest Kim, my love and condolences to you and yours and Godspeed to your beloved brother.

More like some crisis management person took over dealing with her account.

I dunno. SJP wouldn't win on this one either way. If she said nothing, she's a heartless bitch. If she sent a kind message, she's just trying to show she's a "nice girl." SJP did what anyone does when someone you know had a death in the family.

I don't have a hard time believing that SJP/SATC blind. For Kim to respond as she did definitely makes it seem so, when she could have just said nothing. I like the show, the first movie was okay, the second I didn't care for. Will not matter to me at all if there's no third.

I don't know about behind the scenes, but onscreen Carrie was the most annoying of any of them. It was actually one of the things I could agree with MrD on.

MrD ended up watching with me because this was back when he gave a shit and actually watched one or two things he would not have bothered with otherwise (at least initially) because I liked them, thus ended up watching a lot of SATC and admittedly usually found it entertaining. We probably had more discussions that I still recall about the characters on this show than any other we watched.

So recalling our conversations here's a guy's take:

Charlotte - was the prettiest but ditzy and mildly annoying, which being pretty and sweet kind of made up for. The one to plan your party.
Samantha - was the funniest, sexiest and the most badass. Definitely the one you wanted to hang out with. The one to invite to your party.
Miranda - was the smartest, also funny, the least annoying. Definitely the one to call if you are in trouble. The one who would help you clean up after your party.
Carrie - hands down the most annoying and most self-absorbed. The last one to arrive and the first one to leave the party. Also remember these gems: Would stab out eyeballs if stuck in an upstate cabin with. Would dump after having to entertain her ex in said cabin (but become best buddies with him because he was not so bad). Would sneak out as soon as she fell asleep and not even leave a post it.

Also according to the ex, the least attractive. Which he claimed was strictly going on looks, but I have my doubts.
